Boysville has been around since the 1940s. It's a home for boys and girls who, for one reason or…read moreanother, need a place to stay. Boysville takes a holistic approach to the care and well-being of a child, regardless of age or developmental stage. The organization is dedicated to helping as many of San Antonio's youth as they can, providing housing, clothing, food, education, finance management, and other key aspects of "growing up" to the almost 100 residents. The organization also holds an annual fundraiser (usually in August every year) to help bring in needed funding for programs for the kids. It costs about $100 per day to raise a child at Boysville. The staff takes extra care to make sure that every child gets a shot at as normal a life as possible: they take them Christmas gift shopping in December, hold Thanksgiving dinner in November, have other outings and excursions throughout the year, while providing a safe, stable, and structured environment for them to grow and learn. I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Boysville for the past 5 years, and it never gets old. While I don't work directly with the residents I know that every little bit helps, and that's what Boysville is all about. It takes a village to raise a child, and with almost 100 children it takes a little help from all of us. Twitter: @Boysville - http://www.twitter.com/Boysville

I have written to ask that they discontinue my recurring gift and close my account and never get a response. I want confirmation that they will no longer charge my account and will close my account with them. I have used their "contact us" feature on their website which leaves no record of me contacting them. I have also left voice messages no one returns my calls.

Always looking for something meaningful to do and a way to give back and pay it forward. So, I signed up and adopted a soldier. So far it has been one of the most rewarding and coolest things I have done. If I can make a soldiers deployment a little easier by sending 1 letter a week and 1 package a month then I absolutely will. And I love sending packages to people with stuff that they need, want or will smile at upon opening. I love the fact that my soldier will have something to open during mail call. Yes, we are strangers, but maybe that's the beauty of it. This is a great program and one I'm proud to be a part of. The website is helpful and easy. They provide mentors, suggestions and all kinds of good information.
